In the Kiwifruit Orchard

Orchards are busy places. People have to prune the vines, get rid of bugs who eat the leaves and rabbits who love to dig holes under the roots of the trees.

Then there are very high wind breaking hedges around that need trimming. These hedges are very important to stop the fruit from having fun in the wind and swinging too much so that they break off or rub against their kiwifruit friends which make marks on them so they do not look so lovely any more.

Here a specially designed machine has to trim the hedges because the giants are still sleeping and nobody can wake them to do this job.

  1. Siera says "that machine is really cool". Josh says "They're huge". Gaurang says "They are GIANTASTIC!" Anya says "it's very cool and looks like cutting grass". I think it looks like a razor shaving a face.

  2. Anya, I hope your dad does not shave with a razor that big! :)
